The first team is fine, apart from the strikers, but beyond that i think we look really poor. I'm disappointed that Capello has left out the young players. If McClaren had picked this squad everyone would have had a go at him.
Imo walcott hasn't done enough to be put in the squad ahead of Agbonlahor or Young. I think Beckham should stopped being picked for friendly game, if not all together.

i think your right about gabs and young! i was sooo angry not to see their names their! i think young should have replaced carrick insted of jenas! <_<

but i think walcott will do well! i know most england fans dont believe in him but capello need to give him a chance and you'll bloody well see theo scoring a goal or two! :P -_- :ph4:

It's not that i don't believe in Theo, it's just that i don't think he has done anything to be in this squad really.

England coach Fabio Capello has named John Terry as the national team's new permanent captain.

Terry had been vying with central defensive partner Rio Ferdinand for the role, with Capello opting to keep faith with the Chelsea defender.

During Steve McClaren's ill-fated stint in charge of England, Terry was captain after replacing David Beckham in the job following the 2006 World Cup.

Since succeeding McClaren as coach, though, Capello has been rotating the armband during his four friendlies at the helm.

Steven Gerrard had been skipper in Capello's opening match against Switzerland before Ferdinand led the team out against France.

Terry was given his chance to impress against the United States at the end of last season before Beckham took on the role against Trinidad & Tobago.

However, Terry and Ferdinand had always been regarded as front-runners for the position, with the Manchester United defender reportedly the favourite.

Ferdinand, though, will be Terry's vice-captain after Capello confirmed his decision ahead of Wednesday's friendly against Czech Republic at Wembley.


I'm really suprised at this, the papers had been saying it was defo going to be Rio for a while now. I wasn't really bothered about who was captain too much but i'm so happy for JT! I think he epitomizes the classic English spirit in football and i no people say that he isn't a good role model cos he has had arguments with refs ect but he's a great leader, he dragged us thro last season. Rio's not an angel either i'm sure people forget about he's missed drugs test but anyway really happy for JT! :D I think it would have hit him really hard had he lost the captaincy.

Well Capello sees something in him! so lets just wait and see! besides its only a friendly! The hard work starts off later ;)

OOOOhhh its JT! TBH i really wanted Stevie G to be captain but since it was between JT and Rio i hoped JT was choosen! and i'll have to live with that for the rest of englands games...unless..he screws up! :lol: ...Noo am sorry! Congrats JT!

The under 21's played them last night.

This is a load of crap tonite! I really don't get why Beckham is still playing, we seem to play him in the hope that he will put in a good free kick once or twice in a game cos that is all he can offer us tbh now. He's had a mare today.
I don't have a clue what system we are playing who is playing where, anything. Someone on the tv just said we are 9-1 favourites to win the world cup :lol: Thats a joke! Even if we go on to win 4-2 there are alot of questions that need answering if we are going to even qualify for the world cup let alone get anywhere near winning it.

Also i really hate that some of the fans in the stadium always boo the other teams national anthem at the beginning of games, it's been done for years but it needs to stop.

On a possitive note tho, Bye Bye Barwick
What a shame :rolleyes: He's made a joke of the fa, be nice if they could get someone who actually knew about football in next.

Also Frank should just retire from internation football if he is going to get booed off the pitch whenever he plays, he doesn't deserve it! In the qualifiers he wasn't great but neither were alot of players and it's not fair he gets singled out! It's like when Hargreaves use to get booed for no reason what so ever, it's pathetic.

Your boys were playng again today!?? Oh the confusion of friendlies...

edit-oh wait, you were talking about the game last night...well, at least it gave Capello a minute to tinker with the squad. My only gripe would be to STOP PUTTING GERRARD AND LAMPARD TOGETHER!

Well Gerrard played of the left yesterday so they didn't play together in the middle yesterday, well they weren't suppose to but he is just drawn to the middle which u would expect i suppose. Neither Frank or Gerrard haven't cut it for England in recent years. Well not when u think about what they are like for Liverpool and Chelsea.
Thats just one of the many problems we have.

I like seeing Gerrard and Barry playing together in the middle. :)

I really don't know why England as a team are sooo shite considering all the top class premier league footballers we have in our squad!?! ^o)
